Issues in Strengthening Commercial Paper Market
I am happy to be with you today in this seminar on "Issues in Strengthening Commercial Paper Market". I am sure the seminar will bring out issues, which would be useful in further strengthening the CP market. It is worth noting that during late the 1980s, call/notice market was virtually the only segment in Indian money market. Today, we have a variety of new instruments e.g., CD, CP, Treasury bills, repo and CBLO catering to the varied needs of market participants. W

Investing in India: Challenges and Opportunities*
I am extremely happy to be here at the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas 2005. Whether in the spirit of the traditional Indian culture of Vasudaiva Kutumbakam, or in the context of a globalised world, I would not like to treat the Pravasi Bharatiyas as distant, but close to both our hearts and the economy. We are, of course, very proud of the achievements of the Indians settled abroad. It is, therefore, only befitting that the great Indian family should meet once a year. The to

Corporate Governance in Banks*
Let me at the outset commend the achievements of your bank in almost all the performance parameters. It is indeed heartening to see a well functioning and sound bank in the otherwise none too rosy co-operative sector. In fact, there could have been no better tribute to the memory of your great founder Sheth Shantaram Mangesh Kulkarni than to turn in a solid performance year after year, and also at the same time becoming a technologically savvy institution.

Corporate Governance: Towards Best Practices*
Corporate governance is increasingly demanding our attention and has moved centrestage. The Enron and WorldCom scandals in the U.S have amply demonstrated the necessity of having a system of corporate governance even in the developed world. In a liberalising and deregulating country like India, corporate governance is all the more important. In this context, it is indeed heartening to note that Bankers’ conference is devoting a full session on "corporate governance".
